Mangrove Bay

We recognise and acknowledge Baiyungu, Thalanyji and Yinigurdira people as the Traditional Owners of Cape Range National Park.

Become one with nature. Sit among the mangrove trees in the Mangrove Bay bird hide and watch the abundance of resident and migratory birds flock in to feed and rest, in the sheltered bay as the tide flows in and out.

About this place

The bird hide is located 100m north from the parking area. Follow the track from the right-hand side of the parking area to a boardwalk that winds through the mangroves to the bird hide.

Remember to walk quietly if you want to see the birds that frequent the area. Information in the bird hide will help you identify some of the regulars.
